stormarticle

Storm article containing the Current storm information section for the system. Do not include the #Current_storm_information anchor in the link; it is already added by the template. If absent, template assumes that the section is in the current article.

sectnum

Used to disambiguate storms when there are multiple active storms being tracked in the same season article. For the second currently active storm, from top to bottom, set sectnum=2; for the third, sectnum=3, and so on. If absent, the template assumes there is only one #Current_storm_information anchor in the article.
